A spot opened up in Pre-K in December and you are now a Panther at Highland Park elementary school. You absolutely love it. Your teacher, Mrs. Weaver, says you have made a lot of friends and are doing really well. We have already been to three birthday parties of classmates and it's fun getting to know your friends and their parents. Right now your "best buddies" are Holden and Conner. You've come home educating me on body parts, organs, patterns, magnets and being healthy. You look like such a big boy walking into school from the school drop off line with all the "big" kids. It makes me sad and proud and I have to admit sometimes I feel a little bit like tearing up.
You had a great Christmas and got the guitar and Lego table that you've been wanting. It's so fun to see you get into the whole season and understand what is going on. You are not a fan of the cold weather at all and you are always asking when it's going to be summer. Every day you ask if you can wear shorts and when you can't, you will push your pants up to your knees and wear them like that. This is what I deal with on a daily. You are quite a little character and you make me laugh.
Probably one of the highlights of your year, was a sleepover at your cousin Gavin's. This was your second sleepover and you were very serious about what to pack, because you only wanted to pack things that Gavin would think was "cool". Gavin's momma sent me pictures throughout the time and it looks like you had a blast. You are already planning the next one.
You are getting really close to your baby brother and I love watching you with him. You are very interested in when he's going to be able to do things and you always ask me "when I was a little baby could I do that?". Now that he's walking and can get around better you two have really started playing together and the wrestling has already started. You also look out for him.....you got on to a teacher at his Valentines party for starting to give him chocolate (he's allergic) and you warned the lady giving him his haircut that he had tubes put in. You are a great big brother.
Your toys of choice are ninja turtles, power rangers, rescuebots and Legos. You mainly watch Imagination Movers, but every now and again want to find something new on Netflix. This led you to Aquabats. I can never unsee what I've seen on that show, and I may always hold this against you.
We have started a tradition during our bedtime routine that I just love. Once Nolan goes to bed, we will get in momma's bed and read 2-4 books. You earn them throughout the day by how well you listen. Most days it's two, but every now and then you will get four and you think you have hit the lottery. After we are done reading books we'll play "I love you bigger". This consists of us going back and forth saying what we love the other one bigger than. Sometimes we're silly, sometimes we're serious and sometimes you just astonish me with how much you know.
Some of your cute sayings right now are:
- "lapstick" - chapstick
- "mom, I have the hiccups, give me a little tickle" - you are convinced tickles cure hiccups
- "wackys" - khakis
- "I can't know why...." - don't understand
